Abstract: The invention relates to a toothbrush (20) with a brush head which can be secured on a brush handle (24) by means of a bayonet catch (26). The bayonet catch comprises a locking pin (28) which is mounted in the front end of the brush handle (24) in such a way that it can be displaced axially to a limited extent but is non-rotatable and which is subject to the action of a prestressing device (50). The brush head (22) is provided with a recess (102) which has a locking groove by means of which the brush head (22) is mounted on the locking pin (28) by engagement of a bayonet stud (32) in the locking groove (106), the locking pin (28) being pulled out of the brush handle (24) counter to the prestressing device (50) until the bayonet stud (32) locks into a lock-in portion (114) of the locking groove. Since the locking groove is arranged in the bristle bed (100) of the brush head (22), a minimum use of material for the brush head, which is disposable after wearing out, is guaranteed and the brush head is reliably secured on the brush handle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical fibre package suitable for installation using a fibre blowing process comprises at least one optical fibre, an inner coating about said fibre, and an outer resin coating about said inner coating, said resin coating including a significant plurality of particulate inclusions at least 10  mu m across, wherein the concentration of the particulate inclusions is significantly greater at the outer surface of the resin coating than at the inner limit of the resin coating. The inclusions may be hollow glass microspheres or mica flakes. The relative absence of significant particulate inclusions at the inner limit of the resin coating improves the mechanical performance of the fibre package relative to similar known packages. The presence of significant inclusions at the outer surface of the resin coating tends, during a blowing process, to increase viscous drag effects and to reduce friction between the package and the duct into which the package is blown, thereby enhancing blowability. <IMAGE>

Title: Systeme d'asservissement de curseur
Inventor: FRANZ PATRICK J
IPC: G06F3/02
Filed: 1992-04-17
Granted: 1997-07-23
Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système d'asservissement de curseur (Fig. 11), qui utilise un pointeur comprenant plusieurs capteurs de force (304), éventuellement intégrés à un interrupteur à touches sur un clavier d'ordinateur. Les capteurs de force détectent les forces latérales et verticales appliquées sur le dessus (300) d'une touche par l'utilisateur (302) pour la commande du curseur. Un convertisseur analogique/numérique (306) procède à l'acquisition des données brutes relatives à la force, lesquelles sont ensuite transmises (310, 312) à un processeur central. Un logiciel de niveau programme de gestion, installé dans le processeur central, linéarise les valeurs de force brutes (316, fig. 12D) pour compenser les anomalies et les absences de linéarité des capteurs de force, des éléments mécaniques du clavier et du convertisseur analogique/numérique. Les valeurs de force linéaires qui en résultent sont ajustées (320) pour compenser les forces de distortion par charge préliminaire (318) s'exerçant sur les capteurs. Ces valeurs de force linéaires, une fois débarrassées de leur distortion, et la configuration (322) des capteurs sont utilisées pour déterminer un vecteur XY net (324, figure 16). Une valeur de vitesse est déterminée par un mappage quadratique de l'amplitude (328) du vecteur XY, en tenant compte de l'état du bouton de la souris. La valeur de vitesse est ajustée en échelle par un facteur de vitesse, bloqué en fonction d'une valeur de vitesse limite et le résultat est utilisé pour déterminer une valeur de déplacement total, qui, à son tour, sert à adapter l'échelle des vecteurs XY pour spécifier le déplacement du curseur sur l'axe des X et l'axe des Y, de façon à assurer le repositionnement du curseur. Les coefficients de mappage quadratique ainsi que le facteur de vitesse et les valeurs limites de vitesse sont modifiables par l'utilisateur au moment de l'exécution, pour permettre une personnalisation de la réponse de ce système d'asservissement de ce curseur. On obtient ainsi un système de pointeur à faible coût ayant d'excellentes capacités de réponse qui assure son efficacité ergonomique. Ce système est utilisable dans la plupart des systèmes informatiques, tels que les systèmes compatibles IBM AT, pour permettre des opérations de pointage sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'utiliser un pointeur séparé tel qu'une souris.

Abstract: Deaeration apparatus for removing entrained air from liquid paper coating and method includes a cylindrical vortex tube which has an inlet end with a vortex generator insert formed with helical flighting surrounding a solid center shaft. The flighting has an outer diameter which is proportioned to be received in the tube inlet and causes a vortex flow to the coating material. A rejects conduit is positioned in the outlet end of the vortex tube with an opening which faces the vortex generator insert and which is positioned on the axial center of the tube and spaced from the vortex generator. The entrained gas forms as bubbles on the vortex generator shaft and form a column immediately downstream of the insert so that the base of the column is at the inner end of the generator shaft and extends toward and into the rejects conduit. The very small bubbles are also carried by the mass flow of the coating toward the outlet end of the tube and into the open end of the reject conduit. The deaerated liquid flows through the tube outlet which surrounds the reject conduit. A deaeration system is disclosed which includes a housing containing a plurality of the individual vortex tubes arranged in flow parallel to each other with common inlet and outlet manifolds.

Abstract: De nos jours on implante fréquemment des systèmes, notamment dans le domaine de la fabrication, qui dépendent de manière complexe de multiples paramètres de commande différents. La présente invention décrit un procédé visant à optimiser les paramètres de systèmes de ce type. Les paramètres sont optimisés par l'introduction d'un réseau neuronal qui apprend le comportement du système. Les résultats du système et son comportement réel sont comparés aux résultats du modèle, ce qui entraîne la génération de nouveaux paramètres de commande qui sont introduits dans le système de manière itérative, jusqu'à ce qu'il n'y ait plus de différence entre le comportement théorique désiré du système et son comportement réel ou bien que cette différence soit inférieure à une valeur prédéfinie. Ce procédé peut être fondamental par exemple lors de son application pour optimiser des trajectoires ferroviaires décrites par des bras de robot.

Abstract: Hydrophobically modified polysaccharide and synthetic polymers with molecular weights of 10,000 to 300,000 serve as associative thickeners in aqueous protective coatings to (-NORTH-)eveling without adversely affecting sag or thickening efficiency. Hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxyethylstarch, hydroxypropylguar, etc. can be degraded with hydrogen peroxide to lower the molecular weight to the desired level. A preferred polysaccharide is hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose with a weight percent hydrophobe substitution of 0.2 to 2.0. A preferred synthetic polymer is hydrophobically modified poly(vinyl alcohol) with a molecular weight of 10,000 to 50,000.

Abstract: Die Neuerung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines, elektronische Schaltungen und Anschlußmittel umschließendes Gehäuse, eines Meßwertaufnehmers. Solche Meßwertaufnehmer sind mittels eines Einschraubstückes in der, das Meßmedium umschließenden Wand befestigt. Dabei können sie, von der Funktion bestimmt, eine Lage einnehmen, bei welcher der Anschluß der Verbindungsleitungen zu einer vom Meßort entfernt angeordneten Schaltwarte sehr schwer möglich ist. Deshalb soll das Gehäuse gegenüber dem Einschraubstück axialsymmetrisch verstellbar sein. Die vorgeschlagene Lösung gestaltet die lösbare Verbindung zwischen Gehäuse und Einschraubstück durch eine einzige, leicht zugängliche Schraube, welche eine Klemmscheibe durchdringt und durch, in eine Nut des Einschraubstückes eingreifende Vorsprünge. Der Klemmring kann durch Festziehen und Lösen der Schraube in seiner Lage so verändert werden, daß zwischen den Vorsprüngen des Klemmringes und der Nut des Einschraubstückes eine Klemmverbindung ausgebildet ist, bei welcher das Elektronikgehäuse in jeder, gegenüber dem Einschraubstück axialsymmetrischen Lage festgelegt ist.
